Snow Flake White Pearl Mica (25D)
Equipped with all Mazdaspeed aero kits! Got a lot of "options" :P
TEIN FLEX Z, Rays TE37 sonic will be added :3
Mazda claims it's 1010kg. I want to cut down some weights to lower the annual tax :P (~999kg)

The reasons why I bought this
- I just wanted to buy a MT brand new car
- I've passed the loan screening somehow lol
- I've always wanted S2000, but considering their price (especially right now), the maintenance fee, and the price for custom parts, buying MX-5 would make much more sense.
- at the same time, I would like to drive this car for a long time, so the availability of its parts was quite a considereable thing for me.
- This would be the last generation of the MX-5 without any electric power, and I thought this is the last chance of buying brand new "engine-only" car.
- After driving my dad's cars (BM Mazda3, DJ Mazda2, DM CX-30), I really became loving Mazda's design, drivers position, and the fun to drive their cars!
- I have borrowed a lot of (sports) cars on Anyca and stuff, and after that I become wanting to get convertible cars. (The reason why I loved S2000 was not it's convertible though lol)
- I saw they introduced 990S (JDM only grade) in Nov. 2021, and I got "fished" lol By searching a lot of information about the ND roadster, I began to fall in love <3
- GT86(FR-S) was a considerable choice for me, but I didn't like its steering feel, and I don't really like Toyotas, so yeah.
- Roadster RF was also a good pick for me, but when I did test-drive thing, the remaining roof was in my sight and I didn't really like that. 2L engine was awesome though!
Anyca
I'm planning to lend this car after achieving 3000km.
I will put a discount coupon dedicated for this car later in here. ;3
Only the resident in Japan can register the service, so tell me if you want to drive this when you come Japan for a sightseeing :)
Aside from all of that, you can get 2500JPY discount coupon by entering invitation code sdenki0807 when you register on Anyca ;)
